Development of an Optical Facility in the Submillimeter to Infra-red Spectral Range

建议建立一个光学设施， 固体光学性质的详细研究， S... 15，000 cm-1光谱范围。该设施是一个组合 一个自制的光谱仪， 的频谱，和商业仪器跨越高 光谱的能量部分。 所有仪器将运行 在1.5…300 K温度范围。 宽光谱范围， 与之前建立的毫米波设施相结合 在加州大学洛杉矶分校将允许明确确定的真实的， 光学电导率的虚部。 该设施将 用于研究各种各样的问题，包括 集体模式的动力学研究，高度 相关金属和无序的、高度各向异性的导体。 该设备还将被用作表征工具， 广泛的凝聚态问题。

Propose to establish an optical facility which allows the detailed investigations of the optical properties of solids in the S...15,000cm-1 spectral range. The facility is a combination of a home-designed spectrometer which spans in the low energy end of the spectrum, and a commercial instrument spanning the high energy part of the spectrum. All instruments will be operating in the 1.5..300K temperature range. The broad spectral range, in combination with the millimeter wave facility established earlier at UCLA will allow the unambiguous determination of the real and imaginary part of the optical conductivity. The facility will be used to study a broad variety of problems, including the investigation of the dynamics of collective modes, highly correlated metals, and disordered, highly anisotropic conductors. The equipment will also be used as characterization tools for a broad range of condensed matter problems.
